DuitNow is Malaysia's real-time payment service. To deposit, choose DuitNow QR or DuitNow Transfer at the casino cashier, enter the amount, then either scan the QR in your banking or e-wallet app or send to the displayed DuitNow ID, and confirm. Deposits are typically instant and low cost, and your Ringgit balance updates within seconds. Always confirm the recipient and use only the official casino link.
PELUANG88 and most Malaysia-facing casinos accept DuitNow because it is fast, widely adopted and works across nearly every local bank and e-wallet. As an independent guide, our role is to explain the process clearly — we are not the operator, and limits, fees and available options change over time, so confirm the live details at the cashier before depositing.
What is DuitNow?
DuitNow is Malaysia's national instant-payment service, operated by PayNet and sitting within the country's regulated payments framework overseen by Bank Negara Malaysia. It moves money in real time between banks and participating e-wallets, either to a registered ID (like a mobile number or IC) or via a scannable DuitNow QR code.
Because DuitNow is built into the banking apps Malaysians already use, it needs no separate account. That universality is why it has become a default option at casino cashiers alongside FPX and e-wallets — almost every player already has access to it.
DuitNow QR vs DuitNow Transfer
There are two ways to pay with DuitNow, and casinos may offer either or both. Understanding the difference helps you pick the smoother option.
| Feature | DuitNow QR | DuitNow Transfer |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Scan a QR code and confirm | Send to a registered DuitNow ID |
| Best for | Quick mobile deposits | Players who prefer manual transfer |
| Speed | Instant | Instant |
| Where used | Banking & e-wallet apps | Mainly banking apps |
| Ease | Very easy — one scan | Requires entering the ID/amount |
Step-by-step: depositing with DuitNow
New to the platform? Start with our registration guide. Once logged in, follow these steps.
- Open the cashier. Log in and tap Deposit.
- Select DuitNow. Choose DuitNow QR or DuitNow Transfer from the payment options.
- Enter the amount. Type an amount within your budget and above the minimum.
- Scan or send. For QR, open your banking or e-wallet app and scan the code shown; for Transfer, send to the displayed DuitNow ID with any reference requested.
- Verify the recipient. Check the recipient name on your bank's confirmation screen before you approve.
- Confirm and wait. Authorise with your PIN, biometric or OTP. Your casino balance should update within seconds — keep the reference until it does.
DuitNow QR is usually the fastest and least error-prone method because you are not typing account numbers by hand. If the cashier offers both, scan the QR and confirm — fewer manual steps means fewer mistakes.
Speed and limits
DuitNow is a real-time rail, so the money moves instantly. The practical limits you hit come from your bank's transfer caps and the casino's own settings, not from DuitNow itself.

| Minimum deposit | RM10–RM30 | Set by casino |
| Maximum per transfer | Bank-dependent | Governed by your bank's transfer limit |
| Deposit fee | Usually none/low | Confirm with bank and cashier |
| Availability | 24/7 | Brief bank maintenance windows possible |

Staying safe with DuitNow
DuitNow itself is a secure, bank-grade system. The risks are the same ones that apply to any online payment, and they are easy to manage. Always start the deposit from the official casino link, and only scan a QR code generated inside the casino cashier — never one that a "helper" or stranger sends you. Check the recipient name on your bank's confirmation screen before approving, keep your banking password and OTP private, and be wary of anyone rushing you. Scam reporting and awareness resources are maintained by the MCMC.
For payouts, many casinos return winnings to your bank account via DuitNow, so make sure your registered name matches to avoid a held withdrawal — the same principle covered in our withdrawal guide. And because instant payments make depositing effortless, set a budget first and use deposit limits. If play stops being fun, our responsible gaming page can help. Learn more about our independent standards on the about page or return to the homepage.
Once a DuitNow payment is confirmed, it moves instantly and can be hard to reverse. Double-check the amount and recipient every time. Never send a DuitNow payment to "unlock" winnings or "verify" your account — legitimate casinos never ask you to pay out of pocket to withdraw.
